I had twin girls on January 22, 2009 at 35 weeks. Kaylin was 5 lbs., 7 oz. and Kallie was 4 lbs., 1 oz. They stayed in the NICU for 8 days. When we came home everything was fine. Then at 4 weeks Kallie was whimpering and fussy at the 2:00 am feeding. She didn't eat very well and was crying. I called the doctor and she said to swaddle her and put her back to bed and to come into the office in the morning.

When I got up for the 5:00 am feeding she wouldn't eat and was a gray color and was cold. I called 911. They took her to the hospital and the started an IV and said that she would have to stay overnight because she was dehydrated. The doctor had just left the room and she stopped breathing and turned blue. I ran out of the room to get help. They put her on a breathing machine and said that she had RSV. When we got up to the PICU they did a spinal tap. When it cameback positive for strep B meningitis I asked how she would get this and they said that I had given it to her at birth. I said that I didn't test postive for it. She now is 4 months and she has seizures and is on medicine for it. We don't know if there is any damage until she gets older.

I thank God every that I have her. Her twin sister never got sick. You would think that if one twin got this the other one would, too. I'm thankful she didn't. I don't think any baby should get sick.
